A Day In The Life

by Duncan Jones

Awake young blood

The sun has come up

It is time for dancing and dodging

Be strong, run fast

Never first, nor last

For the eyes in the grass are watching

See the long grass sway …

But there’s no breeze today

So be ready or not for a show

Don’t blink, ears high

And hope you can fly

Because now it is time to go

The full moon is bright

Though not seen tonight

Low clouds have covered all black

The rain is a gift

But it takes from the swift

Just a word to the bold to fall back

The wet grass is sweet

But it hides the big feet

So enjoy, but, well, you know the warning

When is dried by the sun

It’s again time to run

For it all starts again, good morning …
